[Vibrant General] eric0668:
I want to take a second to introduce myself..my name is Eric

I was here awhile back, as a blackberry user

Now, as a "droid" user

Which form of a droid, yet to be determined.

I"ll spare the long story, I had 3 Nexus', had problems, still swear it is one of the most phenomenal phones, then I decided cause of all the hype and I wanted a large screen, and a black one, less rounded....got an EVO

Well, the phone is great. Sprint customer service.

I didn't hold tru to keeping a story short, but I will hold true to bashing a company. Let your mind do the guessing

So I decided to get a Nexus. I also read all the hype about the Vibrant. I went and got the Vibrant also since I had the money and read that it was spectacular and one of the only things negative is the plastic back and NO flash. Well a lot of phones have plastic parts.. It contributes to a beautiful phone, other parts are metal . Other glass

So I have both phones coming to me.

I asked others in forums if there were people who use two phones, short of people who make them use one for work and another for personal, and they say, NO, and the ones that do do it say it is a pain in the neck.

To make what was supposed to be this SHORT story end, could you please tell me what I could possibly do with two phones. I have asked myself that over and over, clearly the mind of a person who is not able to decide LOL

Which one is better If you are a mod you may have given me your advice in the past

The difference now is this. I hear that there are only several cases of the nexus left and once gone, ninety days from the day of last sale, , what is the correct phrase, customer service will stop (according to Nexus support NOT the ad)

He also said that HTC will handle warranty, but everything else, who knows

Which one should I keep if only one?

I feel the Vibrant. Other than updates (and if you have a spectacular phone, which is what the Vibrant is) there should be no differences, in fact, go with the phone with the most support correct.

I will post in the Nexus side also. Thanks
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Keep the Nexus One to Mod and use the Vibrant as your daily driver!
[Vibrant General] jayzusfk:
Yeah. Why would you have to keep only one?

You gotta change it up now and again. We men like a little variety.. :p
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
i deleted it by accident and i downloaded a new copy of the movie and placed it in my sd card in movie folder and the link on the phone is still broken when i click on avatar from the screen it says file not found please help.......
[Vibrant General] jayzusfk:
*PIRACY ALERT***PIRACY ALERT*

jk. Where did you download it from? I'm sure if it's not named avatar.dcf your phone won't find it. Unless you really care about the icon you could just open it from the Files application.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
i renamed it to avatar.dcf but its still mp4 format and it still does not work:mad:
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
You need the original file for the link so you're SOL.
[Vibrant General] jaker.the.skater:
well like someone said you can just open it up in the video player app. you dont need the icon to watch the movie.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HKcow:
Hi all,

I am having a big headache with my phone now, please help if you have any idea to solve this, or if you have any idea to track the root cause! Thanks!

This morning when I woke up, I found that most of the profile pictures of my friends lost in the contact list. After a while investigation, I found that only 16 out of 4xx persons in my facebook left in my contact list.

To fix the issue, I tried a re-sync and this can't help. Except the contacts in gmail, only 16 persons in facebook appears in my contact list. I then tried to delete the facebook account in the contact, reboot my device, and add the facebook account again, but same issue happened again. If I choose not to automatically add all friends in my contact, the wizard will pop up exactly 16 friends to let me choose who should i import, but other 4xx friends disappeared.

I have double checked that I did not click "show friends with contact number only". And the strange things is, if i go to "activites" in the contact app, the update of friends that did not show up appeared in activites, and I can provide comment as well.

I am sure there is something wrong in the import process that skipped many of my friends from import. Anyone did try this and have a fix? Or how can I investigate the "log" or something else to pinpoint out the problem? I am afraid that even I hard reset my phone the same issue will exist!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HKcow:
Some "update":

I have tried to clear all cache / data in the application setting for "contacts" and "contacts location" and this can't help the situation...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HKcow:
Please give a hand.. anyone meet this issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DaRkMyk:
Same thing with me.. The funny thing is, I can no longer add some of my facebook friends, they are no longer listed on the "Get Friends" menu. The phone thinks that they've already been added.

This happens when facebook sync have errors...

I still can't find a way to get back my missing Facebook friends... :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HKcow:
I have searched all over the web and seems only you and me have reported this error.

Can we confirm that this issue is caused by "i9000 database has the corrupted friend" rather than "i9000 not able to interpret the facebook list"? To eliminate the issue, I have tried to clear the SNS / Contact / Contact Location cache / data but they still can't help. If this is the case, resetting the phone (but this is my last step) should help.

Could someone specialized in the i9000 data structure to suggest a way to fully clean up the contact database? Maybe this can cater the case if the db is corrupted by sync error!

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HKcow:
I have a new friend in facebook today and as expected, the new friend not appear in the list after data-sync, no matter I want to add it later or add it during sync...

Furthermore, com.sec.android.app.sns/snsDB.db contains only the 16 friends in the database, which I suspect the server did not return the remaining contacts?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HKcow:
I have just tried a hard reset and the problem still cannot be solved... I think I need to call samsung support... This seems to be something wrong in the samsung sync server...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chaza0118:
Same here, many contacts that sync from facebook are missing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I don't use fb, so I don't think I can help, but I just wonder if something dumb in the software is going on. So, if you have 16 friends or however many syncing, these friends don't happen to show up elsewhere in your phone or in the cloud. Right? Maybe it has something to do with trying to match up with names you have in your phone book that have a phone number?

Again, just throwing an idea out there, but similar to how you can import all your google contacts or just the ones with a number.

Your friend counts seem awfully low, so if I'm wrong, try to think if there is anything common link between these friends that do get synced. Perhaps they have something in common that can help the sync...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HKcow:
Thank you very much for your suggestion... to answer your suggestion:

- I did nto click "show contacts with phone number only"

- I tried to dump the database from SNS, inside the database only the 16 friends exist, other 4xx friends no appeared in the database

- I have phoned samsung and they just request me to send them the phone. Their reply is quite inprofessional as they said if other facebook account is ok, that should be your account issue and saume generally can't help with facebook issue. But I am sure the phone is syncing with a samsung proxy instead of syncing to facebook directly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chaza0118:
I tried many things but nothing can fix this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] matthewvl:
Ditto, I've tried many different things. Hard reset a few times as well and nothing. Reseated battery and put in a new sim. Perhaps maybe the order of things done is what works. I even tried to sync it before I created my google account. Anybody who has gotten this to work and remember what some of the first steps they did when they got their phone, input would be helpful to try and repeat your process.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chaza0118:
if anyone can fix it please let me know how.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] varunrai:
What firmware are you'll on? I had this problem with JG1. Flashed to JG5 and the problem's gone. But now my twitter contacts don't update. just two of them appear on my phone :)

I'm guessing there's a problem with the sync in our phones. I'm just learning to live with it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jordenyt:
I have got a solution for this.

The problem is originated from the export error of facebook contact. Here is how I treat the problem:

1. Export your facebook contact using the facebook apps "Export Friends To CSV" (Google it and find the link, I cannot post the link)

2. After you have got the CSV, open it using Excel and check whether there are rows containing more than one contact. Apparently, there is error in the first friend contact info of these rows.

3. Remove those friends from your facebook contact (or ask your friends to fix their info).

4. Resync your Android contact with facebook.

This works for me. Hope this help.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chaza0118:
I can't find the row that contains more than one contact :(

edit: oh now i found, the problem is from the last contact that shown in my phone sort by UID from facebook.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewroids:
I just noticed it now when I opened my browser to do a search, and it won't rotate. I have auto-rotate enabled in Settings -> Display, and Handcent has an auto-rotation setting that is also enabled.

I'm also using LauncherPro, and I disabled the auto-rotation there (but that only eliminates the rotation on the home screens). Not too sure what happened, anybody have any ideas?

//edit

It actually works, but only when I rotate it clock wise - when I first got it I've been rotating it counter-clock wise, is there an option to enable both ways, or is the new Froyo 2.2 only one direction?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jep4444:
strange, I'm not sure the problem but in Froyo my screen rotates both ways, in Eclair it only went so the soft buttons/trackball are on the right side
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewroids:
Yep I remember rotating both ways with Froyo when I first flashed Cyanogen 6.0. It's weird because when I open YouTube, it rotates counter-clockwise (track ball is on right side). When I open a Browser and try to rotate it counter-clockwise, no luck. But when I rotate it clockwise, it works!

No idea if I changed a setting or not (girlfriend was playing with it) so I can't provide much details on that. I've installed a couple of widgets (SwitchPro) but I'm sure that won't effect anything.

Sorry if this has been posted already.

Found it on another forum.

http://www.talkandroid.com/6436-heres-a-trippy-live-wallpaper-for-you/

Pretty cool stuff. Remember to download the additional equirectangular images that go with it. :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sfox8:
I downloaded this at work today and installed it. This has got to be one of the coolest live wallpapers yet. I love that you can make it move based on your orientation. It's almost like augmented reality in a way. Really impressed my co-workers haha.

I can't help thinking how cool this would be in a fantasy/sci-fi scene. It'd be like rotating your phone and seeing Pandora all around you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Why is that phone in the video so long?!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] timothydonohue:
wow, nice find. i loved it, except that when i pan the wallpaper, it also swipes the screen over. but, very very cool, i gotta admit
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dadoc04:
thats pretty cool...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SilverStone641:
right?!? i thought it was general distortion on the video, but his hand looks normal. what is that???
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Alanmw86:
its a motorola droid.... ? guessing its either just your brain being tricked from how close to the camera his hand is, or the angle, or possibly the kind of lens he's using.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] :
I went to the link for the additional images and saved them to my Dropbox account from a computer. I opened up Dropbox on the Evo downloaded it but I can only choose from the default image that comes with the live wallpaper.

I went into the settings of live wallpaper and told it to look in /sdcard/dropbox but it's not finding the pictures. Can you guys point me in the right direction?
[G1 General] Kingsley721:
Whats your opinion on the "best" Recovery Image for the HTC Dream/G1? :o

I'm using RA, build 1.7.0..

My OCD makes me want to have the latest and greatest :rolleyes:

Thanks a lot in advanced guys

Ra IMO but truth be told its what i've always used (except for clockwork when i first rooted)

While there is no substantial dev community yet on the Galaxy S, I assume there will be very soon. Combine the fact that they're rootable with their amazing screen and great GPU, and you have a recipe for pure win.

I would personally keep the Vibrant if you don't mind the flimsier feel of that device. Plus, it's thinner.
[Captivate General] sl8125:
Got this phone for couple of days. Playing around with it and stuff. Gotta say I love it. Lagging it up little bit. But I seen a fix on the vibrant forum. Got to pick up a bigger sd card.

However, I been listening music on this thing today. So far sound quality is great. The application is easy to use as well. It's like iphone ish but better. The control is every where. When screen is closed, the control is on top on the lock screen. Also when using other programs its on the notification bar. The option on the application is pretty cool too. Alot of stuff on the player. So much better then the iwhatyoucallit player. I don't think I can put this down now. Its just an great music player. Just thought I share my new experience.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
Yeah I saw the music player in a video review and was blown away by the effort Samsung put in to the player itself. Good job that all I have to say. Can not wait to experience it 1st hand when I get it in the mail.
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
Love the music player on the Captivate. Wow 10x better than the nexus one music player
[Legend General] kazzaz:
is there's any data important on the memory card that came with the legend ? because i find strange folders and names and i don't know what are these ? ... is it save to formate it ?

and another question when i plug the phone through usb to the computer and i want to formate the memory card ... this will formate the whole phone too ?

sorry for my bad english
[Legend General] dangal:
i buy a legend in internet and they come without memory card!!!

the come with one?
[Legend General] raf2k:
2GB memory card should be included.
[Legend General] robto:
Yes, you can format. No problem. You can do it:

1-From inside HTC Legend (recommended): Menu->Settings->Storage->Unmount SD card, Fromat SD Card

2.-From PC: Concect Legend with USB and format Legend disk

3.- Extract micro usb card, put in your PC and format

Some "extrage" folders will appear again when you start the Legend (sistem folders).

No. Will only format SD Card. It is not possible to format the whole phone in anyway.
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
I got my HD2 around 2 months ago. After some intense fiddling with it in the beginning, I installed one of the Energy ROM versions available back then, and my HD2 could keep working for 2 consecutive days without recharging. Granted, I didn't use too many apps back then, and neither did I make a large number of phone calls... BUT that doesn't mean the phone was in sleep mode the whole time.

Having a fully recharged phone last Saturday morning I decided to see how long it'll hold. I tried to use it as little as possible (this still leaves background tasks, but I'll get to that later). It held up reasonably for the whole Saturday, and at the end of the day I still had something around ~60% battery.

So I locked the phone and went to bed.

And when I woke up, the phone was at 25%. After taking a shower, it was at 20%. The phone wasn't hot (which would indicate that some process is hogging all the CPU), and the Task Manager showed nothing out of the ordinary.

Now, about the only background tasks I've ever been running were Parlingo and Lumos... and I didn't even install Lumos after the last ROM update.

What can I do to diagnose this problem? Is the battery dying? Is the power info incorrect and I was getting false readings entire Saturday? Is this the ROM? What can I do to make sure?
[HD2 General] argentocruz:
Rule out the battery cheaply by purchasing an eBay replacement... I have 3 of these and they are good stable batteries... and cheap...

LINKY...
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Do you mean that Lumos is still running as a background task when it isn't installed, or that you always used to have it running before the problem?
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
Sorry for the late reply (work work work)...

I mean that I used to have Lumos installed, but in order to try to pinpoint the source of the fast battery drain, I decided not to install it when I upgraded Energy.

I'll try some batteries, sure... But if there are any solutions that I could try and which are free, then I'd rather try those first...
[HD2 General] reborn_hi:
Just wondering which radio are you using ?

I did have the same problem like you and it just keep getting faster that my battery wont even last me over a night .

What i did was i reflash it back to the stock rom with the radio that came with the stock one. I used it for a day and see when its stable , I Flash my radio to 2.10 and till now I am good . Btw I am using energy rom as well.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
If your battery is lasting 24hours, then there is nothing wrong with the battery.
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
I went back to 2.07. I figured the voice quality is OK enough while the 3G towers in Poland are sucky to begin with, meaning 3G switching / range isn't a real issue.

With the 17th July Energy ROM everything seems to have went back to normal. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric-1987:
Can anyone tell me how to use Cyanogens latest CM6 for the Evo? I have my phone rooted via unrevoked and I have rom manager. Do I just use rom manager with Cyanogens file he released? I have posted in the 135 page thread with no help so I figured this would be the best place. Also what about gapps?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Testrunner:
I'd like to know as well. I have never put a custom Rom on a phone before and am waiting for Cyanogen's release before trying it out for the first time.

My EVO is rooted with Unrevoked 3 which uses ClockworkMod recovery. I have rom manager as well.

Any step by step instructions for us newbies would be great. I don't like bricks.

thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
gapps is a basket of applications that the phone uses for basic google integration, including the market. you'll need it for accessing several things, including the market.

gapps = google apps

right now the only cm build is a nightly, which means it isn't perfect, and may not have all of the functionality you want.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric-1987:
I'm really not that worried. He has all the basic things I NEED. Can I just get a how to or something here?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonylokrn:
Doesn't take much to read through the Dev. threads (most of the guides there consists of ROM flashing tutorials).

Regardless, nobody is going to answer your question if you posted in the CM6 thread since it is about the ROM...not about how to install it.

Anyways..dumbed down, drag/drop ROM into sd card root, "install rom from sd card" in rom manager, find rom, backup current rom if you want, clear/wipe cache/data, flash gapps (same way as rom).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric-1987:
I tried that but it gave me error 7 when I tried to do that. Then it asked me for update.zip. Gave some weird error then.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonylokrn:
Are you fully rooted? I'm not aware if Unrevoked unlocks nandroid.
